Meet Mylo: blood donor and marathon runner
番茄app� Maria is running the London Marathon for pets like me, and I番茄app檓 supporting her training.
番茄app淚 love running and I love the Animal Care Trust. Lucky for me, Maria decided to combine both and not only do I donate blood to save pets that are really sick, but I also get to support her training for this year番茄app檚 London Marathon. She definitely has the hardest task.
番茄app淚 really enjoy giving blood, the team are so kind to me, I know I番茄app檓 helping other poorly animals and I always get a treat at the end! Maria has to run 26.2 miles with only two legs; I番茄app檓 lucky because
I have four legs and am much faster than my human!
番茄app淩unning is so much fun. I番茄app檝e been trained really well and I know how to run slightly ahead so that she doesn番茄app檛 slow me down or get in my way. As soon as my running harness goes on, I know it番茄app檚 time and I get really excited. Like Maria, I take on extra carbs and liquid before I run and we have a good feed and rest when we get home.
番茄app淢aria always runs her fastest times when I番茄app檓 around, so it番茄app檚 a shame I can番茄app檛 be on the start line with her, but I番茄app檒l be barking at the television and ready with a big sloppy kiss and some muddy paw prints when she gets back.
番茄app淢aria has raised just over 拢1,000 for the ACT by taking on the London Marathon and I know she can raise more! I番茄app檝e challenged her to reach 拢1,500
by the finish line...well, it has to be a challenge doesn番茄app檛 it?!番茄app�
